A Sexy, Emotional, Small Town, Wounded Hero standalone romance from best selling author, Stacey Lynn. I was a single father that worked my entire life to provide a stable life for my son, Derrick. Everything changed the day Derrick and his friend Shane went for a typical skateboarding ride after school and never made it home. Losing my son in that tragic accident sent me into the deepest despair imaginable. But somehow, through my grief, I felt a connection to the woman who tried to help him. As the first witness to that horrible accident, Middle School librarian, Chelsea Dwyer, had no idea that both of our lives were about to irrevocably change.

She was the only one who seemed to understand a modicum amount of my pain, perhaps because she'd survived her own life-changing loss. It also didn't hurt that I had wanted to get to know the sexy librarian for years but never made my move. In the wake of tragedy, could two hearts entwined by tragedy move on to form a loving, healthy bond?

When a fake relationship feels a little too real.... I'm in a Tight Spot. I'm not a nice guy. I'm too rude. Too gruff. I want to be left alone and stay in my lane as one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Too bad management has a sudden problem with my image and all the fines I've been racking up. Now I'm told I need to settle down, shape up...or they're shipping me out. Except no playbook could have prepared me for the Hail Mary pass they threw at me: Enter Hailey Parillo. My fake girlfriend. She's the Sunshine to my Grump, the Sweet to my Sour and the Smile to my Scowl. As ridiculous as it is, she agrees to play this fake game with me, for something in return: Lessons in seducing a man and losing her virginity. I almost balk at the idea, but I've got a career I don't want to lose in a city I don't want to leave. AND little did I know this is the most important game of my life.

Hooking up with my best friend's little sister is one thing, getting drunk and marrying her in Vegas is another... My team just won the Stanley Cup. I should be out on the town celebrating. Instead, I'm nursing a broken heart, courtesy of my ex-wife. Next thing I know, I'm waking up with my teammate's sister in my bed wearing a rock the size of the Grand Canyon on her finger. Neither of us remembers saying, I do... but turns out the marriage is as real as the diamond on her finger. The press is going crazy. The team is pissed. And her brother... well he just might kill me. So, at the advice of my agent, we do the only thing that makes sense-make a plan to stay married until this madness blows over. It might have started out fake, but Gabby is the one making my dreams come true and showing me what real love is. Now I just need convince her to stay my wife forever.

When my ex-wife walked out our door, she didn't just take her belongings with her, she took my heart. I was pretty sure it would never work again, but that was before my sister's best friend showed up at my door. Beaten. In need of serious help. And my sister sent Emmersyn to me, knowing I'd do whatever I could to help. Except doing whatever I can means getting married. Again. We both know the score though, which means Emmersyn knows I'll never love her. I can help protect her and our marriage secures her inheritance, but love? I've already ruined one woman. I refuse to hurt another. We say I do, and almost immediately I realize spending this much time around Emmersyn will be my downfall. I might be breaking my promise to her already. Turns out, when it comes to love and women, I'm wrong about a lot of things.

Like most guys I have a type - she wasn't mine. Not at all. The angelic beauty on the dance floor was innocence written all over her. But I can't stay away. And when she runs from me, leaving me wanting more, I can't get her out of my head. Turns out finding her won't be too hard. My mystery virgin is the new marketing assistant for the Rough Riders Football team. And the owner's daughter. She wants to lose her virginity and she's come to me for one thing, and one thing only. I'll gladly help her out, but we have to be careful no one discovers us. The last thing I need is for my boss to find out I've been teaching his baby girl all my dirtiest plays. But I didn't get to be MVP by playing by the rules.

As a wide receiver for the Rough Rider's football team, I have the best hands... on and off the field. I also have a secret -- one I would do anything to protect. An airtight NDA keeps my membership to Club Velvet, and my need for dominance private. Exercising control, needing it... craving it even, serves me well under the lights on the field and over a willing woman in the bedroom. Imagine my surprise when the latest partner to be blindfolded and bound beneath me, is also the reporter assigned to me. By day Elizabeth Hayes follows me around, capturing my good deeds and by night I capture her breathy moans, as I do wicked things to her. One story is all it would take to destroy my career. So I used my magic hands and give her all the pleasure she begs for, in a way that I crave, keeping our identities sidelined. She might trust me to dominate her body, but I'm not sure I can trust her with the truth... or my heart.

As MVP tight end for the Rough Riders, I'm used to get what I want. When I want it. If my sexy as sin looks don't seal the deal, my larger than life bankroll does. plus, once women see what I'm packing below the belt, they always come back for more. And I'm happy to oblige, before sending them on their satisfied way. None of that matters now, My sights are set on a Super Bowl ring - kicking ass on the field and staying focused are my only options, getting distracted is not. Then Shannon Hale shows up and suddenly I'm fumbling like a rookie over the quarterback's sassy little sister. She's not like other women. Wants nothing to do with me - NFL's resident playboy. The harder she pulls, the more I push. Now the only game I want to win involves getting her in my bed, but I still have one little problem. She's very much off limits. Good thing I've learned when you're playing for keeps, sometimes you have to play dirty.

Every woman knows who Beaux Hale is, and they all know I'm nothing but a player. The first time I walk into Paige Halloway's restaurant and flash my famous grin, sparks fly like the halftime show. I know she feels it too, until I open my big mouth and ruin it. Turns out she's not on the menu and not interested, not by a long shot. It's going to take more than money, fame, and charming good looks to get me out of this one. But I didn't lead my team to a Super Bowl victory, by giving up easy. Paige may know how to run a little interference, but as QB I'm all about the long game. There's no shame in my game, until I meet Paige and realize I'm now playing for the win of a lifetime.

A one-night stand with a sexy stranger has me in over my head and calling time out...Most of my team celebrated our Monday Night Football win with family and a few drinks. I celebrated mine with a smoking hot brunette. One wild night of passion, with chemistry off the charts, we had our fun. In the morning, just when I was thinking asking her for one more night - she bolted faster than I can score a touchdown. It's my rookie year. I'm breaking records and our team is gearing up to head to the playoffs. A Championship win is the only thing I'm focused on. Until my one-night stand shows up at my doorstep on Christmas Eve and drops a present in my lap that turns my whole world upside down. Maggie's pregnant. And the baby is mine. My teammate's think she's after my multi-million-dollar contract, but I believe her. Either way, I'm not the kind of guy who walks away from his responsibilities. Now Maggie's living under my roof and getting under my skin. I want her close so I can take care of her and our future child. If only I could keep my hands off her, my life would be a hell of a lot less complicated. A one-night stand with a sexy stranger has me in over my head and calling time out...

Especially when we're both on the same page - one week and then we go our separate ways... three hundred miles apart. Before I know it, I'm all wrapped up in her - and not just her body. Her smiles. That wild, untamable hair. Her laughter. Confidence. Hell she's everything I've been looking for and I can't keep my hands off her. It was supposed to be a fling, but now I want more.

From the author of the Raleigh Rough Riders and Las Vegas Vipers, comes a brand new, steamy and emotional sports romance series. A sneak attack by the girl who broke my heart, reminds me what could have been...I might have made it as an NFL quarterback, but I was still me - still living in my hometown north of Nashville and tackling being a single dad. The media assumed I wore a halo beneath my helmet, but they didn't know my tragic past. I was no angel.Because the only woman I ever truly loved was the girl who stole my heart when it was committed to another, and I never recovered from the mess we created.

Hockey hottie Garrett Dubiak has been my best friend since college and the one constant in my life the past seven years. Through distance, career changes, and other relationships, we've always found our way back to each other. Including one wild weekend this winter, when he finally told me he wanted more... wanted everything from me. Too afraid to admit I felt the same, I told him I needed time. Twelve weeks later, here I am, pregnant with his baby, alone, and terrified. He's my best friend. He deserves to know the truth. So I swallow my fear, my pride, and I shoot my shot. I just hope he's still willing to have me - and our baby.

What started as a typical night out with my team, became the best night of my life. Picking up a smoking hot blonde, I take her back to the hotel, expecting the evening to go down like any other. But nothing about her is average... she's sassy, witty and throws me off my game. After one incredible night, I wake up wanting to see her more than I want to go to hockey practice. Then another first happens, she kicks me out - wearing only a sheet and a frown. The next time I see her, three months later, I knock her on her ass. Literally. Even dripping in tears, she's still the most beautiful woman I've ever met. Then I find the source of her tears. Her father. My hockey coach. Turns out, I've gone and fallen for my coach's daughter. Our attraction is undeniable. It's also unavoidable since she's now traveling with our team. I have more to lose than a spot on my hockey team if he catches us... like my heart.

Spending the night in jail isn't exactly how I planned to spend Christmas, but I've had worse holidays... Now that I'm out, it's time to accept my real punishment. Coaching ten-year-old terrors on the ice, in my non-existent free time. My Coach thinks it's be good for me. Remind me where I came from. He should know I've tried every day of my life for the last ten years to forget. The youth hockey league is a hell I didn't plan on and the worst penalty possible... Until the day a sweet, single mom cracks a joke about her kid, and then all bets are off. I'm the best defenseman in professional hockey, but I didn't see her coming... now what in the hell do I do? I'm not equipped for a relationship. I'm definitely not ready to have a kid depending on me, but I can't deny she makes me feel things - want things I never imagined I could have. I should save us both the trouble and stay far away from her. But rules were made to be broken, and I was never good at following them anyway.

Hooking up with my best friend's little sister is one thing, getting drunk and marrying her in Vegas is another... My team just won the Stanley Cup. I should be out on the town celebrating.

There's nothing I wouldn't do for my best friend. Like, hide the fact that I've been in love with her for years. Or agree to be her fake boyfriend when we have to return to her hometown for her exes wedding. Little does Jillian know this is what I've been waiting for. It's a dream come true. I finally get to touch her and love her in all the ways I've been dying to show her. For one weekend only, she's mine, even if she thinks it's fake. Pretending to love her is easy. I want her to be mine forever. Getting Jillian to admit it's what she wants too, is another thing. On or off the ice, I have no problems fighting dirty to get what I want. But this is one fight I might just lose.

Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.I've had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skates-make America's pro hockey league.I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, I'm determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later I'm confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares he's mine.Suddenly, I'm a single dad in way over my head.There is no playbook for situations like this.Luckily, I have Paisley.My gorgeous neighbor, my long-time crush, and now-my savior.She's there any time I need her.Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.With her at my side, I'm quickly learning there's more to life than winning a hockey game.

Tessa Chauncy is the best kind of trouble. Beautiful, sweet and completely off limits. I've sat by and watched other men drool after her and forced myself to stay in check. Hey, I'm in the NHL... I have self-control in spades.Except when it comes to her.With the bat of her lashes and quick whip of that sharply pointed tongue Tessa can knock grown men to their knees. I've seen them wither and crumble under her confident stare- something I'm pretty sure she learned from sparring with me, thankyouverymuch.But I'm not just falling for her. I'm down for the count.She's the girl I wanted, when wanting her was wrong.She's also my new roommate--And oh yeah, my best friend's little sister.Heaven help me, I'm probably going to get his fist to my face or his hockey stick shoved in very dangerous places for what I'm about to do, but I don't think I care anymore.I'm in love with my best friend's little sister....and I'm done waiting.

Getting served divorce papers was not how I planned spending New Year's Day. I probably shouldn't have gone to my favorite bar and gotten wasted trying to drown my sorrows. I definitely shouldn't have spent the night passed out in the bed of the bartender's daughter, Gigi. And the absolute last thing I should have done was let my guard down and start having fun. Now I'm thinking of her all the time... fantasizing about the things I want to do to Gigi. I'm in the middle of the best hockey season of my life. I need my head int he game and focus on the playoffs - not playing house with the gorgeous bartender who makes me feel more alive than I have in years. Finding someone so soon after a failed marriage isn't the smartest thing I've ever done. But it just might be too late. I've been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and I'm not only spinning out of control... I might just be falling in love all over again.
